Opus 4.7 jumps in math, trails GPT-5.4

Claude Opus 4.7 has demonstrated significant progress on the FrontierMath benchmark with a 27.1% score on research-level Tier 4 problems, surpassing Gemini 3.1 Pro but remaining behind the industry-leading GPT-5.4 Pro. This update marks a major leap in symbolic reasoning, as models move closer to solving problems that typically take human experts days to complete.

// ANALYSIS

The latest FrontierMath results solidify OpenAI’s lead in high-stakes reasoning, though Anthropic’s new "xhigh" effort scaling is rapidly narrowing the competitive gap.

–GPT-5.4 Pro's 38% score is a watershed moment for AI math, up from a sub-2% baseline just two years ago
–Claude Opus 4.7 utilizes a 1M+ token "thinking" budget to tackle complex algebraic geometry and topology
–Gemini 3.1 Pro remains the strongest general-purpose model but lacks the specialized depth for Tier 4 research problems
–The jump from Opus 4.6 (23%) to 4.7 (27.1%) in months suggests that compute-heavy "thinking" time is the new frontier for model differentiation
–FrontierMath is now effectively the primary benchmark for distinguishing between top-tier reasoning architectures
